Not a lot of money to be made, that's for sure! I have a friend who manages a profit off eggs. He was able to get certified organic, and he can sell his eggs for a premium. He attends farmer's markets, has a web page for his egg "business," and sells them in a local store. He also saves on feed by working with a co-op.

I have chickens because I love chickens. I just give my eggs to friends and neighbors. LOL!
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
If you want to sell pullets, you'll need to figure out what you'll be doing with the cockerels that come along with the pullets. You might want to consider also selling free range chicken meat.

I concur that you can make a little money selling birds, but it’s more like breaking even.
